Thank you for the very welcome contribution!

I run my Linux systems on Fedora and Debian.  Mostly Fedora.  I tend to
stick with older versions, but it's no problem to crank up yet another
VM with with the latest release or .-1 for this.  I don't think you want to

I use VirtualBox for the VMs - mostly hosted on an x86-64 server, but my
windoze notebook has one for when I travel. 

I run Debian on RPis - but doubt I'll put SimH on one of those.  Other
folks do.

I know there are other users who run SimH under everything from Android
phones to Tru64 Unix...

Just about every DEC network-capable OS is run here - from TOPS-10/20 to
RT-11.
